Description

Property description: Guide price £550,000 to £600,000. This distinguished Grade II Listed Georgian former rectory has generous and flexible family accommodation and is immaculately presented throughout. Much attention has been paid to preserving the character, architectural integrity and rich history of the home, with original features carefully retained and enhanced. The generous proportions, high ceilings and abundance of natural light synonymous with Georgian architecture are evident throughout, while the beautifully landscaped and expansive garden, elegant reception rooms and versatile living spaces create a home of exceptional quality and charm.

The elegant reception hall forms a striking first impression, blending warmth, character and architectural interest. Natural light streams through the attractive arched fanlight above the entrance door, illuminating the original tiled flooring and impressive timber staircase. Rich wood panelling and period detailing reflect the home's Georgian origins.

The drawing room is a beautifully proportioned space, centred around a wood burning stove and has delightful views across the gardens through an impressive arched window. A separate formal dining room is an excellent setting for entertaining, featuring period detailing, decorative alcoves and an attractive fireplace.

At the heart of the home lies a spacious kitchen/breakfast room fitted with shaker style cabinetry, solid wood worktops and a range style cooker. The adjoining garden room floods the space with natural light and provides a seamless connection to the courtyard gardens.

A charming snug sits adjacent to the kitchen and is currently used as an additional sitting room with French doors opening directly out to the garden. This versatile room has the potential to be incorporated into the kitchen to create an impressive open plan kitchen, dining and family room, subject to any necessary consents. With an adjoining ground floor shower room, the snug could alternatively be used as a guest suite, accommodation for a dependent relative or a ground floor bedroom if required.

Further practical accommodation includes a spacious inner hall with extensive built-in storage cupboards, a further downstairs shower room and rear entrance hall with access to the integral double garage.

The impressive main staircase leads to two south facing well proportioned bedrooms with high ceilings, period features, and large sash windows. The West bedroom has two built in wardrobes (with scope to add an en-suite bathroom subject to the necessary consents) and the East bedroom has a cast iron feature fireplace and a door leading to the rear landing giving access to the family bathroom. The back staircase leads up to the East bedroom, a further bedroom and the family bathroom which has been tastefully updated and features a freestanding roll-top bath, contemporary fittings and elegant marble-effect tiling, creating a luxurious and relaxing retreat.

Outside: The expansive south-facing lawned gardens are a particular and prominent feature of the property, providing a stunning backdrop to the house and creating an idyllic setting. Manicured lawns, sculpted topiary, lavender borders, mature specimen trees and hedging and an ornamental fountain combine to create a landscape of remarkable beauty and privacy. To the side of the house is a paved terrace, ideal for alfresco dining and the courtyard garden can be accessed from both the kitchen and snug. Attached to the house is a large double garage with additional parking on the drive.

Location: Pedwell Villa is in a convenient position within the small hamlet of Pedwell, set back from the A361 with excellent access to the surrounding Somerset countryside and regional transport links. Everyday amenities are available in the nearby village of Ashcott, including a primary school, parish church, village store with post office facilities, and a selection of well regarded local inns.

The nearby town of Street, approximately four miles away, provides an extensive range of shopping, leisure and recreational facilities, including Clarks Village outlet shopping, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and the popular Strode Theatre. The county town of Taunton lies approximately 22 miles to the south-west, while Junction 23 of the M5 motorway at Dunball, Bridgwater is approximately 13 miles away, providing excellent connectivity to Bristol, Exeter and beyond.
